The cutest *vegan* brunch in East Village!

RATING: 4.5/5

Price Range: $20-30 / person [$$] Very affordable brunch place, especially if you share!

Ladybird is an adorably decorated haunt in the East Village known for their vegan tapas and cocktails. Despite their completely plant-based menu, it’s definitely a popular destination for vegans AND non-vegans alike who want to have a fun night out. They serve the best vegan truffle mac and cheese and honestly, every dish I’ve had here has wow-ed me because of how good it was! It’s also so beautifully decorated inside (think green, gold, and pink accents!) – perfect for a cute brunch date or birthday event.

TRUFFLE MAC AND CHEESE [$20] – truffle oil, breadcrumbs, seared mushrooms. Can’t stop raving about this dish! Better than most non-vegan ones I’ve had.

EGGPLANT PARMESAN [$17] – marinara, ricotta, basil. I absolutely love eggplant parm and the vegan ricotta here just makes me love the dish even more.

KFB [$17] – tempura fried broccoli, gochujang tamari sauce, sesame, scallions. Just the right amount of crunch and sauce here!
